[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wannadie:
Same here,

I only have installed twrp and this 4.2.2 rooted

i can't pass wifi activation and turn on debugging.

What do you think about copying 4.4 stock rom from pendrive to nexus using USB-OTG in twrp recovery?

Thx
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoxRedEye:
I'm having this same exact issue on GNex Toro. It all started after I replaced the USB port. I replaced it just fine. Nothing broke, tore etc. By the grace of God I was able to restore a PA 3.99 backup and keep my phone active while using the Nexus toolkit to return to stock and unroot. But still encountering this same issue now - can't pass the select WiFi screen.

Thanks everyone, my baterry is on the way , ill give quick rewiev on it as i will use it. :)
[HTC Sensation] k27463:
I've had good luck with my Anker, but it appears that the battery contacts may be a bit deeper recessed into the battery than the factory HTC one. I had to pry the phone battery contacts out a bit to ensure a good connection (phone was mysteriously rebooting). Battery life has been excellent; depending on ROM, between 24-40 hours (assuming 2-3 hours screen on).
[HTC Sensation] RedPulse:
Thanks for the heads up :D

I just ordered mine, and will edit this post here about my findings. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] faqmix:
Yesterday i got my anker , the package looked nice and undamaged.

Things i've done so far :

1.Inserted the baterry and charged it to 100% took not so long 4-5 hours (Was ~70% stock) and did baterry wipe

2. Now will use my phone till the baterry will be at 10-2% and will charge it full again (it said that you need to do that 3-4 times so baterry calibrates with the phone)

Baterry was 100% about 22:00 it kept 100% untill 24:00 (some texting , looking at the time)

In the morning the baterry was at 88% - not doing anything

Now at 12:25 its 52% screen on 1h13m

13:28 -------- 40% , wow it sinks pretty fast with texting and not so many of it.

used mobile network (about 30mins ) with facebook 15mins and a game 15mins., had one phone call and texting mostly.

While playing game the baterry was very close talking about the heat as original but not enough to reach level of finger burning .

original answer what to do with fresh new baterry from ianker.com

so far the baterry is in ok state i am expecting some improvements after doing the calibrating.

using inspiration 1.0.1

4.0.4 android

bricked

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crank1:
Hi Guys,

My USB port failed recently on my Note 2 so had no way of fully backing up my phone via my PC, however I did sync with Samsung and Google before it went off for repair. When it came back everything seemed to restore Ok but I have noticed that my backed up photos all seem to reside in a folder called Autobackup and are all low res versions.

I don't know much about this and sort of assumed that my pictures would be restored automatically to the folder they were originally in and at the same quality?

I can't find the Autobackup folder through file manager and I can't seem to do anything with the pictures via gallery.

How can I get the full res pictures back?

Your help is much appreciated :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strif3:
So like the title sugests i would like to know if its posible that the note 3 can get burning of the blue subpixels after several months of usage,i want to buy this phone but for me this is a very big drawback beacuse the screen is one of the most important aspects of a smarphone.

My 3 year old SGS has the screen still intact but i can se the pixel degradation but no significant burning just when i put the blue screen i can see a liiitle ghost of the notification bar but very very very dim almost unnoticeable,i have to mention i never used the phone with maximum brightness only in direct sunlight.

I have read some threads about this fact and it seems a general ill amongst the amoled screens so what is the chance i get burning on the note 3?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigsaw:
Of course can't exist experimental proofs because Note 3 just came out :p but if we look at s4, can be said that it has less problems in comparison with s3. As you know it depends on many things, even your way to use is relevant..but if your GS3 lasted 3 years (or more), I think that there is no reason why a note 3 should be worse, even because Samsung put BIG efforts on those relevant aspects for the customer ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohitdahiya:
The same thing is with my Samsung galaxy S. But as this is 3 years old, it is still very little noticeable (mostly noticeable while white background). I am a big fan of Super AMOLED display of Samsung as it is attractive and looks awesome. I have used my galaxy S2 for more than 2 years and I find no such signs on it. Watch videos on Amoled display and LCD display and you will find a lot of noticeable difference in them, as amoled displays are sweet.

I think it's right choice to buy note3 as 2-3 years will be nice and then the slight change will be there which will be unnoticeable.

If you still are not in favour of note 3, consider buying nexus 5 as it's feature packed and will be the first to receive next android versions.

Hello. I am not really familiar with custom roms etc..So i want someone to suggest me the most suitable rom for my phone.

I want a ROM that

1.will not affect my camera (i'm not sure if this is possible to happen..a friend told me that custom roms sometimes affect camera..)

2.will improve battery lifetime if this is possible

3.will make my phone more stable and non-lagging.

Custom ROMs aren't actually do it and forget about it there can be glitches of sorts at times BUT nothing that isn't solvable

3)

unless you are using a nightly build where its specifically mentioned that camera wont work, i don't think otherwise should be an issue

4)

battery lifetime has always been the concern those associated with android fraternity, there are plenty of threads around discussing the same, just skim through the one provided in point 1 :)

5) if you have installed a stable rom then your phone will be stable, lags have often been noticed (in my case) when too many Apps are installed from market (in my case around 350+)

So I've been wondering if you are able to get viruses on android devices. Can anyone clear this up?
[Security Discussion] Stround:
It Depends.

If you have a rooted device your chance of getting a "virus" increases. A virus is not your typical virus. For a virus to work you have to install it as an app. The most common form of viruses is the fake apps that disguise themselves as valid apps and steal personal information form you:silly:
[Security Discussion] deskSX:
and what if you flash a custom ROM with a backdoor entrance?
[Security Discussion] #Fear:
That's why its open source, it's for people to scrutinize for any evil code.

Google apps are generally safe, if u notice something suspicious just report it and if something is found it will be removed.

I generally don't worry about information being stolen, i dont do internet banking on my phone, it's just contacts and sms and emails.

Dont do warez or install from unknown sources, if you're worried stick to stock.

rooting alone doesnt lead to viruses I guess, but flashing an evil ROM would be a problem, my fear is just making a bridge to my pc when connected.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
You are looking less at virus, and more at malware with Android. Yes it is possible, but you can limit your risks.

1) Keep your firmware as up to date as possible

2) Obtain apps and firmware from reputable sources (Official firmware repositories and Google Playstore)

3) Use common sense when installing apps, if the company looks shady, it might be.

Custom firmwares, blocking OTAs, and rooting your device increases your risks.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Find me one custom rom that is 100% opensource, and has had an actual full audit, because you won't find either.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Rooting a device, and running apps that use root expands the attack surface greatly.

[Security Discussion] Mysterion1:
Well, there aren't many viruses for Android. But a lot of apps in Google's PlayStore are spyware - just have a look at their permissions.

Now an example of a virus I know:

It's name is ''AndroRat''. This virus is a remonte andministration tool which allows the hacker to remotely control the targets phone. Your phone can be infected by e.g. installing an apk. This virus can be bound with the apk. So you think that you install only the certain apk, but inside of it the virus is hidden. With the apk installation the virus automatically installs itself. Well, what can AndroRat do with your phone? This virus (which originally was a university project back in 2012) has the following features:

* Get contacts (and all theirs informations)

* Get call logs

* Get all messages

* Location by GPS/Network

* Monitoring received messages live

* Monitoring phone state in live (call received, call sent, call missed..)

* Take a picture with the camera

* Stream sound from microphone (or other sources..)

* Streaming video (for activity based client only)

* Make a toast :D

* Send a text message

* Initiate calls

* Open an URL in the default browser

* Vibrate the phone

[Security Discussion] techdani:
Well, I believe that viruses in the sense of crippling phone abilities or making it a lot slower like we assisted in the "early days" of PC's are no longer profitable.

There's also other malware that actually gets to your phone from an infected PC (or was it malware that infected your PC through your phone). Anyway, for sure there are things out there. Android is has very large user base.

Besides installing a anti-virus app, I know one of the features of I think Android 4.3 was the introduction of SELinux and that was one step in the right direction. The more technical aspects are here: http://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/se-linux.html

You do an almost dictionary grade sort of rambling and you make two word errors in your ending statement. "meet" should be "mean", "went" to "won't".

I don't get your reply in any sense of it. Whether it's adware, spyware, virus or malware as a whole: they're all somewhat malicious to the end user. The choice of a word doesn't mean much compared to the end result. And there's not any operating systems, or software, immune to security holes.
